Anonymous Coffin Pattern (1793-1830) - Skull & Crossbones
During the late 18th to early 19th centuries (circa 1793–1830), coffin art in Europe and America prominently featured memento mori symbols, serving as poignant reminders of mortality. Common motifs included the skull and crossbones, winged hourglasses, and weeping willows, each symbolizing aspects of death and the transient nature of life. In Puritan New England, for instance, the death's head motif—a skull often accompanied by wings—was prevalent on gravestones and coffins, reflecting the community's contemplative approach to mortality. These artistic elements were integral to funerary practices, aiming to prompt reflection on life's impermanence and the afterlife.
